Vice President Kamala Harris' sit-down with Fox News' Bret Baier wasn't an interview; it was a competition. Baier sought to box Harris into giving no-win answers to what were at times loaded questions. Harris' goal seemed to be making it through the 30-minute conversation without meandering too often into nondescript word salad answers. I don't know if I'd call the finished result a draw, but it was definitely no knockout. Baier jumped right into it, pressing Harris to answer for the Biden administration's decision to immediately reverse the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy, which required asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases were reviewed by U.S. immigration courts. Baier said the administration's border policies allowed 6 million undocumented immigrants into the country and asked whether she regrets reversing the policy. Harris tried to pivot, countering that the Biden administration has pushed for immigration reform in Congress since day one. This is a preview of Anthony L. Fisher's latest article.
